Visual and Performing Arts Identification

Handbooks with procedures for identifying students who are gifted in the visual and performing arts. Arts specialists, gifted coordinators and all personnel who develop district identification procedures and are involved in the screening and identification of gifted children should read the handbooks.

Pursuant to ORC 3301.079 (B) (3) and 3313.60, it is the responsibility of Ohio's local boards of education to vet and approve curriculum and educational materials for use in the public schools within their district. The use of any materials posted or linked to on the Ohio Department of Education website, including materials within the Common Core State Standards or Appendices or any state model curricula or other educational resource material, is entirely up to the discretion of each local board of education.
